1 year later, Primary school pupils still prefer Laptop/Netbook

Last year I did a simple survey with pupils from Primary 1 to 6 on their favourite devices for learning in classroom. Laptop/netbook was their favourite device. This year I did another similar survey with a smaller group of students (and ex-students) in Facebook. Laptop/Netbook retains the students’ top choice. Despite the rise of tablets in 2011, it remains as the ‘sub ‘ device, clinching the second place.

Interestingly, Interactive White Board seems to be gaining popularity among students, overtaking the iPod and mobile phone as the third choice. Is IWB is next big thing or fad?

Update: iPod, mobile phone and gaming console just overtook the IWB. This is an ongoing Facebook ‘Question’

##FF Myself (Many thanks to John Larkin!)

I’m very honoured to be featured in John Larkin (@john_larkin)’s ‘The Friday Follow Twitter Interview‘ today. Frankly I don’t think I deserved the fame. I’m just a geeky Chinese language teacher who likes to play with education technology

Thanks John!
